1. Introduction
Let M be an n-dimensional differentiable manifold and T ∗M be its cotan-
gent bundle. There is a well-known natural construction which yields, for any
affine connection ∇ on M , a pseudo-Riemannian metric g̃∇ on T ∗M. The met-
ric g̃∇ is called the Riemannian extension of ∇. Riemannian extensions were
originally defined by Patterson and Walker [15] and further studied by Afifi [2],
thus relating pseudo-Riemannian properties of T ∗M with the affine structure
of the base manifold (M,∇). Moreover, Riemannian extensions were also con-
sidered by Garcia-Rio et al. in [8] in relation to Osserman manifolds (see also
Derdzinski [5]). Since Riemannian extensions provide a link between affine and
pseudo-Riemannian geometries, some properties of the affine connection∇ can be

investigated by means of the corresponding properties of the Riemannian exten-
sion g̃∇. For instance, ∇ is projectively flat if and only if g̃∇ is locally conformally
flat [2]. For Riemannian extensions, also see [1, 7, 9, 11, 12, 17, 19, 21, 22]. In
[3, 4], the authors introduced a modification of the usual Riemannian extensions
which is called the modified Riemannian extension.
Let M2k be a 2k-dimensional differentiable manifold endowed with an almost
complex structure J and a pseudo-Riemannian metric g of signature (k, k) such
that g(JX, Y ) = g(X,JY ) for arbitrary vector fields X and Y on M2k. Then
the metric g is called the Norden metric. Norden metrics are referred to as
anti-Hermitian metrics or B-metrics. The study of such manifolds is interesting
because there exists a difference between the geometry of a 2k-dimensional almost
complex manifold with Hermitian metric and the geometry of a 2k-dimensional
almost complex manifold with Norden metric. A notable difference between Nor-
den metrics and Hermitian metrics is that G(X, Y ) = g(X,JY ) is another Norden
metric, rather than a differential 2-form. Some authors considered almost com-
plex Norden structures on the cotangent bundle [6, 13, 14].
In this paper, we will use a deformation of the Riemannian extension on
the cotangent bundle T ∗M over (M,∇) by means of a symmetric tensor field c
on M , where ∇ is a symmetric affine connection on M . The metric is the so-
called modified Riemannian extenson. In Section 3, in the particular case where
∇ is the Levi–Civita connection on a Riemannian manifold (M, g), we get the
conditions under which the triple (T ∗M,HJ, g̃∇,c) is a Kähler–Norden manifold,
where HJ is the horizontal lift of an almost complex structure J and g̃∇,c is the
modified Riemannian extension. Section 4 deals with curvature properties of the
Levi–Civita connection of the modified Riemannian extension g̃∇,c.
Throughout this paper, all manifolds, tensor fields and connections are always
assumed to be differentiable of class C∞. Also, we denote by =p
q(M) the set of all
tensor fields of type (p, q) on M , and by =p
q(T ∗M) the corresponding set on the
cotangent bundle T ∗M . The Einstein summation convention is used, the range
of the indices i, j, s being always {1, 2, . . . , n}.
2. Preliminaries
2.1. The cotangent bundle
Let M be an n-dimensional smooth manifold and denote by π : T ∗M → M
its cotangent bundle whose fibres are cotangent spaces to M. Then T ∗M is a
2n-dimensional smooth manifold and some local charts induced naturally from
local charts on M can be used. Namely, a system of local coordinates
(
U, xi
)
, i =
1, . . . , n in M induces on T ∗M a system of local coordinates
(
π−1 (U) , xi, xi = pi
)
,
i = n + i = n + 1, . . . , 2n, where xi = pi are the components of covectors p in

Properties of Modified Riemannian Extensions
each cotangent space T ∗xM, x ∈ U with respect to the natural coframe
{
dxi
}
.
Let X = Xi ∂
∂xi and ω = ωidxi be the local expressions in U of a vector field
X and a covector (1-form) field ω on M , respectively. Then the vertical lift V ω
of ω, the horizontal lift HX and the complete lift CX of X are given, with respect
to the induced coordinates, by
V ω = ωi∂i, (2.1)
HX = Xi∂i + phΓh
ijX
j∂i (2.2)
and
CX = Xi∂i − ph∂iX
h∂i,
where ∂i = ∂
∂xi , ∂i = ∂
∂xi
and Γh
ij are the coefficients of a symmetric (torsion-free)
affine connection ∇ in M.
The Lie bracket operation of vertical and horizontal vector fields on T ∗M is
given by the formulas
[
HX,H Y
]
= H [X, Y ] +V (p ◦R(X, Y ))[
HX,V ω
]
= V (∇Xω)[
V θ,V ω
]
= 0
(2.3)
for any X, Y ∈ =1
0(M) and θ, ω ∈ =0
1(M), where R is the curvature tensor of the
symmetric connection ∇ defined by R (X,Y ) = [∇X ,∇Y ] − ∇[X,Y ] (for details,
see [24]).
2.2. Expressions in the adapted frame
We insert the adapted frame which allows the tensor calculus to be efficiently
done in T ∗M. With the symmetric affine connection ∇ in M , we can introduce
the adapted frames on each induced coordinate neighborhood π−1(U) of T ∗M .
In each local chart U ⊂ M , we write X(j) =
∂
∂xj
, θ(j) = dxj , j = 1, . . . , n. Then
from (2.1) and (2.2), we can see that these vector fields have, respectively, the
local expressions
HX(j) = ∂j + paΓa
hj∂h ,
V θ(j) = ∂ j
with respect to the natural frame
{
∂j , ∂ j
}
. These 2n-vector fields are linearly
independent and they generate the horizontal distribution of ∇ and the vertical

distribution of T ∗M , respectively. The set
{
HX(j),
V θ(j)
}
is called the frame
adapted to the connection ∇ in π−1(U) ⊂ T ∗M . By putting
Ej = HX(j), (2.4)
Ej = V θ(j),
we can write the adapted frame as {Eα} =
{
Ej , Ej
}
. The indices α, β, γ, . . . =
1, . . . , 2n indicate the indices with respect to the adapted frame.
Using (2.1), (2.2) and (2.4), we have
V ω =
(
0
ωj
)
(2.5)
and
HX =
(
Xj
0
)
(2.6)
with respect to the adapted frame {Eα} (for details, see [24]). By the straight-
forward calculations, we have the lemma below.
Lemma 1. The Lie brackets of the adapted frame of T ∗M satisfy the follow-
ing identities:
[Ei, Ej ] = psR
s
ijl El,[
Ei, Ej
]
= −Γj
ilEl,[
Ei, Ej
]
= 0,
where R s
ijl denote the components of the curvature tensor of the symmetric con-
nection ∇ on M .
3. Kähler–Norden Structures on the Cotangent Bundle
We first give the definition of pure tensor fields with respect to a (1, 1)-tensor
field J .
Definition 1. For a (1, 1)-tensor field J , the (0, s)-tensor field t is called pure
with respect to J if
t(JX1, X2, . . . , Xs) = t(X1, JX2, . . . , Xs) = . . . = t(X1, X2, . . . , JXs)
for any X1, X2, . . . , Xs ∈ =1
0(M). For more information about the pure tensor,
see [16, 20, 23].

Properties of Modified Riemannian Extensions
An almost complex Norden manifold (M, J, g) is a real 2k-dimensional differ-
entiable manifold M with an almost complex structure J and a pseudo-Riemannian
metric g of neutral signature (k, k) such that
g(JX, Y ) = g(X, JY )
for all X,Y ∈ =1
0(M), i.e., g is pure with respect to J . A Kähler–Norden (anti-
Kähler) manifold can be defined as a triple (M, J, g) which consists of a smooth
manifold M endowed with an almost complex structure J and a Norden metric g
such that ∇J = 0, where ∇ is the Levi–Civita connection of g. It is well known
that the condition ∇J = 0 is equivalent to the C-holomorphicity (analyticity)
of the Norden metric g [10], i.e., ΦJg = 0, where ΦJ is the Tachibana operator
[16, 20, 23]: (ΦJg)(X,Y, Z) = (JX)(g(Y, Z)) − X(g(JY, Z)) + g((LY J)X, Z) +
g(Y, (LZ J)X) for all X, Y, Z ∈ =1
0(M). Also note that G(Y, Z) = g(JY, Z) is
the twin Norden metric. Since in dimension 2 a Kähler–Norden manifold is flat,
we assume in the sequel that n = dim M ≥ 4.
Next, for a given symmetric connection ∇ on an n-dimensional manifold M ,
the cotangent bundle T ∗M can be equipped with a pseudo-Riemannian metric
g̃∇ of signature (n, n): the Riemannian extension of ∇ [15], given by
g̃∇(CX,C Y ) = −γ(∇XY +∇Y X),
where CX,C Y denote the complete lifts to T ∗M of vector fields X, Y on M .
Moreover, for any Z ∈ =1
0(M), Z = Zi∂i, γZ is the function on T ∗M defined by
γZ = piZ
i. The Riemannian extension is expressed by
g̃∇ =
( −2phΓh
ij δi
j
δj
i 0
)
with respect to the natural frame.
Now we give a deformation of the Riemannian extension above by means
of a symmetric (0, 2)-tensor field c on M whose metric is called the modified
Riemannian extension. The modified Riemannian extension is expressed by
g̃∇,c = g∇ + π∗c =
( −2phΓh
ij + cij δi
j
δj
i 0
)
(3.1)
with respect to the natural frame. It follows that the signature of g̃∇,c is (n, n).
Denote by ∇ the Levi–Civita connection of a semi-Riemannian metric g. In
this section, we will consider T ∗M equipped with the modified Riemannian exten-
sion g̃∇,c over a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M, g). Since the vector fields HX
and V ω span the module of vector fields on T ∗M , any tensor field is determined

A. Gezer, L. Bilen, and A. Cakmak
on T ∗M by their actions on HX and V ω. The modified Riemannian extension
g̃∇,c has the following properties:
g̃∇,c(HX,H Y ) = c(X, Y ), (3.2)
g̃∇,c(HX,V ω) = g∇,c(V ω,H X) = ω(X),
g̃∇,c(V ω,V θ) = 0
for all X, Y ∈ =1
0(M) and ω, θ ∈ =0
1(M), which characterize g̃∇,c.
The horizontal lift of a (1, 1)-tensor field J to T ∗M is defined by
HJ(HX) = H(JX), (3.3)
HJ(V ω) = V (ω ◦ J)
for any X ∈ =1
0 (M) and ω ∈ =0
1 (M). Moreover, it is well known that ıf J is
an almost complex structure on (M, g), then its horizontal lift HJ is an almost
complex structure on T ∗M [24]. Now we prove the following theorem.
Theorem 1. Let (M, J, g) be a Kähler–Norden manifold. Then T ∗M is a
Kähler-Norden manifold equipped with the modified Riemannian extension g̃∇,c
and the almost complex structure HJ if and only if the symmetric (0, 2)-tensor
field c on M is a holomorphic tensor field with respect to the almost complex
structure J .

Properties of Modified Riemannian Extensions
From the last equations, if the symmetric (0, 2)−tensor field c is pure with respect
to J , we say that A
(
X̃, Ỹ
)
= 0, i.e., the modified Riemannian extension g̃∇,c is
pure with respect to HJ .
Now we are interested in the holomorphy property of the modified Riemannian
extension g∇,c with respect to HJ . We calculate
(ΦHJ g̃∇,c)(X̃, Ỹ , Z̃) = (HJX̃)(g̃∇,c(Ỹ , Z̃))− X̃(g̃∇,c(HJỸ , Z̃))
+ g̃∇,c((LỸ
HJ)X̃, Z̃) + g̃∇,c(Ỹ , (LZ̃
HJ)X̃)
for all X̃, Ỹ , Z̃ ∈ =1
0(T
∗M). Then we obtain the following equations:
(ΦHJ g̃∇,c)(V ω, V θ, HZ) = 0,
(ΦHJ g̃∇,c)(V ω, V θ, V σ) = 0,
(ΦHJ g̃∇,c)(V ω, HY, V σ) = 0,
(ΦHJ g̃∇,c)(V ω, HY, HZ) = (ω ◦ ∇Y J)(Z) + (ω ◦ ∇ZJ)(Y ),
(ΦHJ g̃∇,c)(HX, V ω, HZ) = (ΦJg)(X, ω̃, Z)− g((∇ω̃J)X,Z),
(ΦHJ g̃∇,c)(HX, V ω, V σ) = 0,
(ΦHJ g̃∇,c)(HX, HY, HZ) = (ΦJc)(X,Y, Z))
+(p ◦R(Y, JX)− p ◦R(Y,X)J)(Z)
+(p ◦R(Z, JX)− p ◦R(Z, X)J)(Y ),
(ΦHJ g̃∇,c)(HX, HY, V σ) = (ΦJg)(X, Y, σ̃)− g(Y, (∇σ̃J)X),
where ω̃ = g−1 ◦ω = gijωj is the associated vector field of ω. On the other hand,
the Riemannian curvature R of Kähler–Norden manifolds is pure [10], that is,
R(JX, Y ) = R(X, JY ) = R(X, Y )J = JR(X, Y ).
Hence, from the equations above, it follows that ΦHJ g̃∇,c = 0 if and only if
ΦJc = 0, which completes the proof.
4. Curvature Properties of the Levi–Civita Connection of the
Modified Riemannian Extension g̃∇,c
In this section, we give the conditions under which the cotangent bundle T ∗M
equipped with the modified Riemannian extension g̃∇,c is respectively locally flat,
locally symmetric, conformally flat, projectively flat, semi-symmetric and Ricci
semi-symmetric.
Let us consider T ∗M equipped with the modified Riemannian extension g̃∇,c
for a given symmetric connection ∇ on M . By virtue of (2.5) and (2.6), the mod-
ified Riemannian extension (g̃∇,c)βγ and its inverse (g∇,c)βγ have the following

Theorem 2. Let ∇ be a symmetric connection on M and T ∗M be the cotan-
gent bundle with the modified Riemannian extension g̃∇,c over (M,∇). Then
i) (T ∗M, g̃∇,c) is locally flat if and only if (M,∇) is locally flat and the com-
ponents cij of c satisfy the condition
∇i(∇kcjh −∇hcjk)−∇j(∇kcih −∇hcik) = 0; (4.3)
ii) (T ∗M, g̃∇,c) is locally symmetric if and only if (M,∇) is locally symmetric
and the components cij of c satisfy the condition

P r o o f. The Levi–Civita connection ∇̃ of g̃∇,c is characterized by the
Koszul formula
2g̃∇,c(∇̃X̃
Ỹ , Z̃) = X̃(g̃∇,c(Ỹ , Z̃)) + Ỹ (g̃∇,c(Z̃, X̃))− Z̃(g̃∇,c(X̃, Ỹ ))

formulas can be checked by a straightforward computation:

computations, the Riemannian curvature tensor R̃ is obtained as follows:

with respect to the adapted frame {Eα}.
i) We now assume that R = 0 and equation (4.3) holds, then from the equa-
tions in (4.6) it follows that R̃ = 0. Conversely, under the assumption that R̃ = 0,
we evaluate the first equation in (4.6) at an arbitrary point (xi, pi) = (xi, 0) in
the zero section of T ∗M and we have
0 = [R̃(Ei, Ej)Ek](xi,0) = R h

method as i), the proof follows from the above equations.
We turn our attention to the Ricci tensor of the modified Riemannian exten-
sion g̃∇,c. Let R̃αβ = R̃ σ
σαβ denote the Ricci tensor of the modified Riemannian
extension g̃∇,c. From (4.6), the components of the Ricci tensor Rαβ are charac-
terized by
R̃jk = Rjk + Rkj
R̃jk = 0,
R̃jk = 0,
R̃jk = 0, (4.7)
with respect to the adapted frame {Eα}.
Theorem 3. Let ∇ be a symmetric connection on M and T ∗M be the cotan-
gent bundle with the modified Riemannian extension g̃∇,c over (M,∇). Then
(T ∗M, g̃∇,c) is Ricci flat if and only if the Ricci tensor of ∇ is skew symmetric
(for the Riemannian extension, see [15]).

Theorem 4. Let ∇ be a symmetric connection on M and T ∗M be the cotan-
gent bundle with the modified Riemannian extension g̃∇,c over (M,∇), then
(T ∗M, g̃∇,c) is a space of constant scalar curvature 0.
P r o o f. The scalar curvature of the modified Riemannian extension g̃∇,c is
defined by r̃ = (g̃∇,c)αβ R̃αβ . Using (4.2) and (4.7), we get
r̃ = (g̃∇,c)ijR̃ij + (g̃∇,c)ijR̃ij + (g̃∇,c)ijR̃ij + (g̃∇,c)ijR̃ij = 0.

Theorem 5. Let ∇ be a symmetric connection on M and T ∗M be the cotan-

A semi-Riemannian manifold (M, g), n = dim(M) ≥ 3, is said to be semi-
symmetric [18] if its curvature tensor R satisfies the condition
(R(X, Y )R)(Z, W )U = 0, (4.10)
and Ricci semi-symmetric if its Ricci tensor satisfies the condition
(R(X,Y )Ric)(Z, W ) = 0 (4.11)
for all X, Y, Z, W,U ∈ =1
0(M), where R(X, Y ) acts as a derivation on R and Ric.
In local coordinate, conditions (4.10) and (4.11) are respectively written in the
following form:
((R(X,Y )R)(Z, W )U) n
ijklm = ∇i∇jR

klm −∇j∇iR

and
((R(X, Y )Ric)(Z,W ))ijkl = ∇i∇jRkl −∇j∇iRkl = R p
ijk Rpl + R p
ijl Rkp.
Note that a locally symmetric manifold is obviously semi-symmetric, but in gen-
eral the converse is not true.
Theorem 6. Let (M, g) be a semi-Riemannian manifold and T ∗M be the
cotangent bundle with the modified Riemannian extension g̃∇,c over (M, g). We
assume that R̃ h

ijk cmh − R m
ijh ckm = 0, where R
and R̃ are the curvature tensors of the Levi–Civita connections ∇ and ∇̃ of g and
g̃∇,c, respectively. Then (T ∗M, g̃∇,c) is semi-symmetric if and only if (M, g) is
semi-symmetric.
P r o o f. We consider the condition (R̃(X̃, Ỹ )R̃)(Z̃, W̃ )Ũ = 0 for all
X̃, Ỹ , Z̃, W̃ , Ũ ∈ =1
0(T
∗M). The tensor (R̃(X̃, Ỹ )R̃)(Z̃, W̃ )Ũ has the components

The other coefficients of (R̃(X̃, Ỹ )R̃)(Z̃, W̃ )Ũ reduce to one of (4.16), (4.14) or
(4.15) by the property of the curvature tensor. The proof follows from (4.13)–
(4.17).
Theorem 6 immediately gives the following result.
Corollary 1. Let (M, g) be a semi-Riemannian manifold and T ∗M be the
cotangent bundle with the modified Riemannian extension g̃∇,c over (M, g). If
(M, g) is locally symmetric and the components cij of c satisfy the condition
∇i(∇kcjh −∇hcjk)−∇j(∇kcih −∇hcik)−R m
ijk cmh −R m
ijh ckm = 0, (4.18)
then (T ∗M, g̃∇,c) is semi-symmetric.

Theorem 7. Let (M, g) be a semi-Riemannian manifold and T ∗M be the
cotangent bundle with the modified Riemannian extension g̃∇,c over (M, g). Then
(T ∗M, g̃∇,c) is Ricci semi-symmetric if and only if (M, g) is Ricci semi-symmetric.
P r o o f. We study the condition (R̃(X̃, Ỹ )R̃ic)(Z̃, W̃ ) = 0 for all X̃, Ỹ , Z̃, W̃
∈ =1
0(T
∗M). The tensor (R̃(X̃, Ỹ )R̃ic)(Z̃, W̃ ) has the components
((R̃(X̃, Ỹ )R̃ic)(Z̃, W̃ ))αβγθ = R̃ ε
αβγR̃εθ + R̃ ε
αβθR̃γε. (4.19)
By putting α = i, β = j, γ = k, θ = l in (4.19), it follows that
((R̃(X̃, Ỹ )R̃ic)(Z̃, W̃ ))ijkl = R̃ p
ijk R̃pl + R̃ p
ijl R̃kp
= 2R p
ijk Rpl + 2R p
ijl Rkp
= 2((R(X,Y )Ric)(Z, W ))ijkl,
all the others being zero. This finishes the proof.
R e m a r k 2. i) If cij = 0, then conditions (4.3), (4.4), (4.8), (4.9) and (4.18)
are identically fulfilled.
ii) If cij is parallel with respect to ∇, then conditions (4.3), (4.4), (4.8), (4.9)
and (4.18) are identically fulfilled.
iii) If cij satisfies the relation ∇icjk −∇jcik = ∇kωij , where the components
ωij define a 2–form on M and if (M,∇) is flat, then conditions (4.3), (4.4), (4.8),
(4.9) and (4.18) are identically verified.
